SYSTEM DESCRIPTION MAGNETI MARELLI IAW
System Description
General
The Magneti Marelli-Weber IAW is a fuel injection and ignition control
system. The control system evaluates signals from different sensors and
adjusts fuel metering and ignition accordingly. The IAW is a multi-point
system with separate injectors for each cylinder, these are controlled
sequentially.
Note: in order to increase the pressure in the fuel system the pump relay
is activated for a specific period after the ignition is switched on. This
period varies between systems and car models. If the period is very long,
the Multi-Tester plus/pro may indicate an error in a static test of the pump
relay signal even if it is correct.

MAGNETI MARELLI IAW STARTING THE PROGRAM
Starting the program

General
The program is re-started each time the power supply is interrupted and
re-connected. When the supply is interrupted any faults and pre-sets recorded
in memory are deleted.
At any particular moment, those keys which are not required are disabled.
If such a key is pressed, the unit emits a long beep signal.
The program starts automatically when the Multi-Tester plus/pro is connected
to the power supply. The unit executes steps 1 to 3 and pauses at step 5.
Working procedure
1. All fields in the display are tested
(i.e. are illuminated)
MULTI-TESTER plus (Multi-Tester plus only).
If no software cassette is installed or
the cassette is incorrect, only the first
and third row become illuminated.
At this point the display’s contrast can
be adjusted. Adjust the potentiometer
to right of the switch inside the cassette
opening (using a small screwdriver).

MAGNETI MARELLI IAW PROGRAMS AND TESTS
Programs and tests

The following types of test are available:
Monitor test Directs and displays the control system’s signals without
storing measured values.
Running test Records and stores faults which occur under both shorter
and longer test periods.
Edit Can be used to disable fault detection on various signals.
Special tests A number of tests which are carried out in response to
independent signals.
Monitor test
General
In Monitor test, values such as engine speed and coolant temperature are
displayed.
Monitor test – with fault detection
This test is used to detect incorrect input and output signals to/from the
various control systems. An fault is recorded if a signal deviates from its
pre-programmed standard value. The fault is recorded until it is deleted
manually or the power supply is interrupted.
• Up to five faults can be recorded each time Running is executed.
• Each primary fault can lead to a number of secondary faults.
• The Multi-Tester plus/pro stores all faults (primary and secondary)
temporarily and offers an assessment of which is the primary fault.
This is important in order to carry out repair work. Fault information
is saved and displayed.
• The same fault cannot be recorded twice in succession.
• Order of priority of fault registration:
1. Power supply
2. Frame connections to the control system
3. Sensor signals which affect the basic functions of the engine
4. Other signals
Warning! If the display is to be read whilst driving the test
should be performed by two people.

Trouble-Shooting Procedure
General
Many faults can be detected by using the Multi-Tester plus/pro (with the
appropriate software cassette) only. As an additional aid, each software
cassette has a dedicated troubleshooting manual.
However, when troubleshooting, the following points should be observed:
• Faults of intermittent character, e.g. faulty switch contacts, are often
difficult to observe in the workshop. In such cases, those components
which are considered potential causes of the fault should be swapped
out, each in turn, followed on each occasion with a test drive with the
Multi-Tester plus/pro connected.
• NB: the fault rate for control units is relatively low. More likely causes
of failure are harness connectors, cabling, sensors or switches.
• Whenever resistance or voltage supply measurements are being taken at
the harness connector by the control unit, the Autodiagnos Break-out Box
(A0201/A0202) and associated Break-out Box adapter should be used to
avoid destroying the harness connector’s sheathing. This is to ensure
good electrical contact and to avoid damage to or a short circuit across
the harness connector’s sheathing.
The troubleshooting manuals include two chapters important to trouble-
shooting.
The Fault Tracing chapter includes a brief signal description for each pin
and three columns (the pin number means the number in the control unit’s
harness connector). The three columns enumerate the quantities to be
checked by the various tests. In the rightmost column the corresponding
section in the Locating Faults chapter is also included (see figure below).

Locating faults
1
Check of grounding connection to IAW, pin 1
These connections are the grounding connection for the control unit.
1. Disconnect the 35-pin connector from the control unit. Connect the
Break-out Box (A0201/A0202) and the 35-pin adapter (A020202) to the car’s
wiring harness only. Do not reconnect the control unit.
2. Measure the resistance between Break-out Box, pin 1 and 19 respectively
and ground. Desired value: 0 Ω
Possible cause of fault: Wiring or connectors.
2
Check of signal from lambda sensor to IAW, pin 2
This is an input signal to the control unit from the Lambda sensor. It is
only found on cars fitted with catalytic converters and is used for the fine
adjustment of the ratio of fuel to air to approx. 1:14.6 (by weight). This ratio
is called lambda = 1.
The following test conditions must be met as the Multi-Tester plus/pro
checks that the lambda sensor signal oscillates between 0 and 1 V:
• Engine temperature must exceed +70°C
• No idling – because some sensors normally cool down after long periods
of idling and oscillation ceases.
• No full throttle – the sensor signal then becomes constant at approx. 1V
• No fuel cut-off – the sensor signal then becomes constant at approx. 0 V
• Engine speed below 2500 rpm.
1. Check the pre-heating of the sensor (if fitted) by measuring the voltage
at the sensor connector while the engine is running.
2. Check the resistance in the heating coil by disassembling the connector
for the pre-heater and measuring the resistance. Desired value: 2–20 Ω
Possible cause of fault: Lambda sensor.

3. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature and keep the revs at
about 2500 rpm. Enter the special test LAMBDA SENSOR and observe the
fluctuations of the lambda sensor signals between 0 and 1 V. The signal should
oscillate about once a second. Oscillations of longer duration indicate that
the sensor may be polluted and should be replaced.
4. Turn the ignition off and disconnect the 35-pin connector from the
control unit. Connect the Break-out Box (A0201/A0202) and the 35-pin
adapter (A020202) to the car’s wiring harness only. Do not reconnect the
control unit.
5. Measure the resistance between Break-out Box, pin 2 and ground.
If the reading is approximately 0 Ω the sensor has short circuited and is
no longer functioning. Repeat the measurement at the sensor connector
to determine whether the short circuit is in the sensor or in the cable
between the sensor and the control unit.
